Our girls are getting a little old for these stories, but thankfully they still humor me. I like the message about being thankful in this book. It's perfect to read at Thanksgiving, but isn't specifically about the holiday.

The story brings a few wonderful lessons about generosity, kindness, community, and the true meaning of friendship, leaving the reader with a warm heart by the final page.

The length is great, and JJ always adores Bear and his friends, as you can see! Be sure to check out The Baby Bookworm for more reviews! Nov 22, A Allen rated it liked it.
